As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings: "CLOSING" and "CLOSING DATE" shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. "COMMISSION" or "SEC" shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act. "HOLDER" and "HOLDERS" shall include the Purchaser and any permitted transferee or transferees of Registrable Securities (as defined below), the Note and/or Warrant which have not been sold to the public to whom the registration rights conferred by this Agreement have been transferred in compliance with this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement; provided that neither such person nor any affiliate of such person is registered as a broker or dealer under Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

"REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" shall mean: (i) the Common Shares and Warrant Shares (without regard to any limitations on beneficial ownership contained in the Note, the Warrant, or the Purchase Agreement) or other securities issued or issuable to each Holder or its permitted transferee or designee (a) upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant, or (b) upon any distribution with respect to, any exchange for or any replacement of such Note or Warrant, (c) upon any conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities issued in connection with any such distribution, exchange or replacement, or (d) as payment of principal amount or interest in lieu of cash with respect to the Note; (ii) securities issued or issuable upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing; and (iii) any other security issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange for or in replacement of the securities referred to in the preceding clauses; provided that all such shares shall cease to be Registrable Securities at such time as they have been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise or at such time as they are eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k). For purposes of this Agreement, the term "WARRANT SHARES" shall include any shares of the Company's Common Stock that are issued pursuant to that certain Placement Agent Common Stock Purchase Warrant of even date herewith between the Company and Middlebury Capital LLC.

Registration Requirements. The Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act) as would permit or facilitate the sale or distribution of all the Registrable Securities in the manner (including manner of sale) and in all states reasonably 2 requested by the Holder. Such best efforts by the Company shall include, without limitation, the following: (a) The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible after the Closing Date: (i) But in any event by the later (i) of March 5, 2004, or (ii) twenty-five (25) days after the Closing Date, prepare and file a registration statement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act on Form S-3 under the Securities Act (or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such other form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act provided that such other form shall be converted into an S-3 as soon as Form S-3 becomes available to the Company) covering resales by the Holders as selling stockholders (not underwriters) of the Registrable Securities ("REGISTRATION STATEMENT"), which Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of the Note. The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall be no less than the sum of 1.5 times the sum of the number of Common Shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Note as of the date of this Agreement, at the then applicable Conversion Price (as defined in the Note). Thereafter the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement and other filings to be declared effective as soon as possible, and in any event no later than the following date, as appropriate (the "REQUIRED EFFECTIVE DATE"): (A), if the SEC notifies that the Company that the SEC will not review the Registration Statement, the Required Effective Date shall be five (5) days after the SEC provides such notification, or (B) if the SEC notifies the Company that it will review the Registration Statement, then the Required Effective Date shall be sixty (60) days after the Company receives the first written comments on the Registration Statement from the SEC. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will promptly respond to all SEC comments, inquiries and requests, and shall request acceleration of effectiveness at the earliest possible date. (ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement and notify the Holders of the filing and effectiveness of such Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements. (iii) Furnish to each Holder that has Common Shares included in the Registration Statement such numbers of copies of a current prospectus conforming with the requirements of the Act, copies of the Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein and such other documents as such Holder may 3 reasonably require in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such Holder. (iv) Register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of all domestic jurisdictions; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions. (v) Notify promptly each Holder that has Common Shares included in the Registration Statement of the happening of any event (but not the substance or details of any such event) of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus (including any supplements thereto or thereof) included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (each an "EVENT"), and use its best efforts to promptly update and/or correct such prospectus. Each Holder will hold in confidence and will not make any disclosure of any such Event and any related information disclosed by the Company. (vi) Notify each Holder of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities commission or agency of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the threat or initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible time. (vii) [Intentionally omitted.] (viii) List the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with all securities exchange(s) and/or markets on which the Common Stock is then listed and prepare and file any required filings with the Nasdaq National Market System or any other exchange or market where the Common Shares are traded. (ix) Take all steps reasonably necessary to enable Holders to avail themselves of the prospectus delivery mechanism set forth in Rule 153 (or successor thereto) under the Act. (b) Notwithstanding the obligations under Section 2(a)(v) or any provision of this Agreement, if (i) in the good faith judgment of the Company, following consultation with legal counsel, it would be detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for resales of Registrable Securities to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement due to the existence of a material development or potential material development involving the Company that the Company would be obligated to disclose in the Registration Statement, which disclosure would be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time or would have a material adverse 4 effect upon the Company and its stockholders, or (ii) in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would adversely affect or require premature disclosure of the filing of a Company-initiated registration of any class of its equity securities, then the Company will have the right to suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of not more than 30 consecutive calendar days, but only if the Company reasonably concludes, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to suspend the use of the Registration Statement as such would create a risk of a material liability or violation under applicable securities laws or regulations. (c) Set forth below in this Section 2(c) are (I) events that may arise that the Purchaser considers will interfere with the full enjoyment of their rights under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the Notes (the "INTERFERING EVENTS"), and (II) certain remedies applicable in each of these events. (i) Payments by the Company. If (i) at any time after effectiveness of the Registration Statement, sales thereunder during the registration period (as described in Section 5) cannot be made for any reason, other than by reason of the operation of Section 2(b), for a period of more than 10 consecutive business days, (ii) at any time after effectiveness of the Registration Statement, sales thereunder during the Registration Period cannot be made for a period of time that exceeds the limitations set forth in Section 2(b), or (iii) at any time after the Registrable Securities are listed in accordance with Section 2(a)(viii), the Common Shares are not listed or included for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or other exchange or market where shares of the Company's common stock are then traded for more than 10 consecutive calendar days, then the Company will thereafter make a payment to each Holder as set forth below. The amount of the payment made to each Holder will be equal to 1% of the purchase price paid for the Notes purchased by the Holder and not previously converted into Common Shares and sold by the Holder for each 30 business days that sales cannot be made under the effective Registration Statement or the Common Shares are not listed or included for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or other exchange or market where shares of the Company's common stock are then traded (but any day on which both conditions exist shall count as a single day and no day taken into account for purposes of determining whether any payment is due under Section 2 (c)(ii) shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any payment is due under this Section 2(c)(i) or the amount of such payment). The number of shares not previously sold as specified in the previous sentence shall be determined as of the end of the respective 30-business day period. In no event shall payment pursuant to this Section exceed 10% in the aggregate of the purchase price paid for the Notes purchased by the Holder (including such Holder's predecessors and successors) for the entire registration period (as described in Section 5). These payments will be prorated on a daily basis during the 30-business day period and will be paid to each Holder within ten business days following the end of each 30- business day period as to which payment is due hereunder or, at the Company's option, will be added to the outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes, provided that the respective Holder delivered to the Company at least two business days prior thereto information with respect to the number of Notes and Common 5 Shares not previously sold by such Holder (together with reasonable supporting documentation). The Holders may make a claim for additional damages as a remedy for the Company's failure to comply with the timelines set forth in this Section, but acknowledgement of such right in this Agreement shall not constitute an admission by the Company that any such damages exist or may exist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has used its best efforts to avoid circumstances as a result of which sales cannot be made under the Registration Statement during the Registration Period or the Common Shares are not listed or included for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or other exchange or market where the Common Shares are traded, then the damages described above shall be the Holders' sole and exclusive remedy for damages arising out of such circumstances. Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be read to limit the ability of the Holders to seek specific performance of this Agreement. (ii) Effect of Late Registration. If the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Required Effective Date other than by reason of the operation of Section 2(b), then the Company will make a payment to each Holder for such delay (each a "LATE REGISTRATION PAYMENT"). Each Late Registration Payment will be equal to 2% of the purchase price paid for the Notes purchased by such Holder and not previously sold (or converted into Common Shares and sold) by such Holder for the first 30 business days after the Required Effective Date, and 1% of such purchase price for each period of 30 business days thereafter (but no day taken into account for purposes of determining whether any payment is due under Section 2(c)(i) shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any payment is due under this Section 2(c)(ii) or the amount of such payment). In no event shall payment pursuant to this Section exceed 10% in the aggregate of the purchase price paid for the Notes purchased by the Holder (including such Holder's predecessors and successors) for the entire registration period (as described in Section 5). The Late Registration Payments will be prorated on a daily basis during the 30-business day period and will be paid to the initial Holders or, at the Company's option, will be added to the outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes, within ten business days following the end of each 30-business day period as to which payment is due hereunder, provided that the respective Holder delivered to the Company at least two business days prior thereto information with respect to the number of Notes and Common Shares not previously sold by such Holder (together with reasonable supporting documentation). The Holders may make a claim for additional damages as a remedy for the Company's failure to comply with the timelines set forth in this Section, but acknowledgement of such right in this Agreement shall not constitute an admission by the Company that any such damages exist or may exist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has used its best efforts to avoid circumstances as a result of which the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Required Effective Date, then the damages described above shall be the Holders' sole and exclusive remedy for damages arising out of such circumstances. Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be read to limit the ability of the Holders to seek specific performance of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Registration Statement has not yet been 6 declared effective and the Holders are no longer entitled to receive Late Registration Payments as a result of the above-described percentage limitation on said payments, then each Holder shall have the right, at any time upon at least thirty (30) days written notice, to sell all (but not less than all) of its Notes to the Company for a cash purchase price equal to the outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes plus any accrued but unpaid interest. (d) During the registration period, the Company will make available, upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours, for inspection by any Holder whose Registrable Securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "RECORDS") as reasonably necessary to enable each such Holder to exercise its due diligence responsibility in connection with or related to the contemplated offering. The Company will cause its officers, directors and employees to supply all information that any Holder may reasonably request for purposes of performing such due diligence. (e) Each Holder will hold in confidence, use only in connection with the contemplated offering and not make any disclosure of all Records and other information that the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Holders are so notified, unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, (iii) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement (to the knowledge of the relevant Holder), (iv) the Records or other information was developed independently by the Holder without breach of this Agreement, (v) the information was known to the Holder before receipt of such information from the Company, or (vi) the information was disclosed to the Holder by a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality. However, a Holder may make disclosure of such Records and other information to any attorney, adviser, or other third party retained by it that needs to know the information as determined in good faith by the Holder (the "HOLDER REPRESENTATIVE"), if the Holder advises the Holder Representative of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 2(e), but the Holder will be liable for any act or omission of any of its Holder Representatives relative to such information as if the act or omission was that of the Holder. The Company is not required to disclose any confidential information in the Records to any Holder unless and until such Holder has entered into a confidentiality agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company) with the Company with respect thereto, substantially to the effect of this Section 2(e). Unless legally prohibited from so doing, each Holder will, upon learning that disclosure of Records containing confidential information is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein will be deemed to limit the Holder's ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner that is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations. (f) The Company shall file a Registration Statement with respect to any newly authorized and/or reserved Registrable Securities consisting of Common Shares described in clause (i) of the definition of Registrable Securities within ten (10) business days of 7 any stockholders' meeting authorizing same and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of such stockholders' meeting. If the Holders become entitled, pursuant to an event described in clause (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Registrable Securities, to receive any securities in respect of Registrable Securities that were already included in a Registration Statement, subsequent to the date such Registration Statement is declared effective, and the Company is unable under the securities laws to add such securities to the then effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly file, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, an additional Registration Statement with respect to such newly Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) cause any such additional Registration Statement, when filed, to become effective within 30 days of that date that the need to file the Registration Statement arose. All of the registration rights and remedies under this Agreement shall apply to the registration of such newly reserved shares and such new Registrable Securities. 3. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance with registration pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, and all Selling Expenses of a Holder shall be borne by such Holder. 4. Registration on Form S-3. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue to meet the "registrant eligibility" requirements for a secondary offering set forth in the general instructions to Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms, or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act, provided that if such other form is used, the Company shall convert such other form to a Form S-3 as soon as the Company becomes so eligible. 5. Registration Period. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall keep such registration effective until the later of (a) the date on which all the Holders have completed the sales or distribution described in the Registration Statement relating thereto or, if earlier until such Registrable Securities may be sold by the Holders under Rule 144(k) (provided that the Company's transfer agent has accepted an instruction from the Company to such effect) or (b) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date. 6. Indemnification. (a) Company Indemnity. The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents and partners, and each person controlling each of the foregoing, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company files any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC), Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or any post-effective amendment thereof or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the 8 statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any state securities law or in either case, any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents and partners, and each person controlling each of the foregoing, for any reasonable legal fees of a single counsel and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to a Holder to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on (i) any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter (if any) therefor and stated to be specifically for use therein, (ii) any failure by any Holder to comply with prospectus delivery requirements or the Securities Act or Exchange Act or any other law or legal requirement applicable to them or any covenant or agreement contained in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement or (iii) an offer of sale of Common Shares occurring during a period in which sales under the Registration Statement are suspended as permitted by this Agreement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). (b) Holder Indemnity. Each Holder will, severally but not jointly, if Registrable Securities held by it are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, agents and partners, and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and any of its directors, officers, agents, partners, and any person who controls such stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act and each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, each other Holder (if any), and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such other Holder(s) against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company files any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC), Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or any post-effective amendment thereof or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made or (ii) failure by any Holder to comply with prospectus delivery requirements or the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any other law or legal requirement applicable to them or any covenant or agreement contained in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, and will reimburse the Company and such other Holder(s) and their directors, officers and partners, underwriters or control persons for any reasonable legal fees or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company files any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC), Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or any post-effective amendment thereof in reliance upon and in conformity 9 with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein, and provided that the maximum amount for which such Holder shall be liable under this indemnity shall not exceed the net proceeds received by the Holders from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement in question. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). (c) Procedure. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim in any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 6 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely affected by such failure to provide notice. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such non-privileged information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom. 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 herein is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein (other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein), then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as between the Company on the one hand and any Holder(s) on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of such Holder(s) in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of any Holder(s) on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Holder(s). In no event shall the obligation of any Indemnifying Party to contribute under this Section 7 exceed the amount that such Indemnifying Party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof had been available under the circumstances. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if 10 contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraphs. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraphs shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which in the case of any Holder, the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement in question. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 8. Survival. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Sections 6 and 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the consummation of the sale or successive resales of the Registrable Securities. 9. Information by Holders. As a condition to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder, such Holder will furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended methods of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as is reasonably required by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities. At least five business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company will notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from that Holder whether or not such Holder has elected to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. If the Company has not received the requested information from a Holder by the business day prior to the anticipated filing date, then the Company may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of that Holder. 10. Further Assurances. Each Holder will cooperate with the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of such Holder's irrevocable election to exclude all of such Holder's Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement. 11. Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company under Section 2(a)(v) or 2(b), each Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until (i) it receives copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Sections 2(a)(v) or (ii) the Company advises the Holder that a suspension of sales under Section 2(b) has terminated. If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy all copies in the Holder' s possession (other than a limited number of file copies) of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice. 11 12. Replacement Certificates. The certificate(s) representing the Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser (or then Holder) may be exchanged by the Purchaser (or such Holder) at any time and from time to time for certificates with different denominations representing an equal aggregate number of Common Shares, as reasonably requested by such Purchaser (or such Holder) upon surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or certificates for the underlying Common Shares of any of the foregoing, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, or upon surrender and cancellation of such certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Note or certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation at no charge to the holder. 13. Transfer or Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
